Buckeye Police respond to dog bite incident

Posted

Buckeye police received a call from a woman who said two of the family dogs attacked her and her juvenile son at their home near Rooks and Southern yesterday afternoon.

The woman warned officers the dogs had aggressive behaviour and had escaped outside

Two responding officers encountered two large mixed-breed dogs in the neighborhood. The dogs charged both officers which resulted in each officer fired at least once, striking at least one of the dogs.

Officers worked to contain both dogs which had injuries. The woman and juvenile male were transported to the hospital and were treated for non-life threatening injuries.

It's unclear if the dogs will be put down.
